Career
Mr. Schilling's bidding and investment activities (2004–2006) helped expand the expiring domain name auction houses; and later, other ICANN accredited registrars selling their registry connections as a drop registrar. Frank Schilling patented the "Generic Top Level Domain Rerouting System" in 2001, financed the Caribbean's first ICANN accredited domain name registrar in 2003, joined as a member of the ICANN business constituency and co-founded the non-profit Internet Commerce Association in 2006. He began domain blogging on Seven Mile in 2007.
A 2008 book by WSJ reporter David Kesmodel entitled "The Domain Game" touches on the history of Schilling and the evolution of the industry in which he continues to participate.
In 2011 Schilling created InternetTraffic.com and the DomainNameSales.com marketplace (ITC/DNS). The independent traffic monetization, syndication and secondary-sales business quickly grew to become the largest privately owned domain traffic monetization platform on the Web.
In June 2012 CNET revealed Frank Schilling as the founder of Uniregistry.com, a large scale applicant in ICANN's New GTLD arena. The un-contended applicant for 9 top level domain names, positions itself as "a registrant centric registry operator providing proficient stewardship of names for the good of registrants and stakeholders".
Schilling was one of the first to administer very large portfolios of domain names for third-parties and is one of the largest generic domain-name investors in the world. His re-investment in the field which brought him notoriety continues to create interest inside the esoteric domain-space, and in the main-stream.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
“John Brown’s career for the last six weeks of his life was meteor-like, flashing through the darkness in which we live. I know of nothing so miraculous in our history.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I’ve been in the twilight of my career longer than most people have had their career.”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
